IH-777-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo
-
@CosmoSix5 I would just take those to a tailor and have them remove the excess fabric, the fit will be much cleaner.

@V-P slightly. They were very tight when I got them so I did a colder soak out of caution. Looking back I wish I'd have done warm. Still very happy tho
-
@branpureza I probably won't hem the Indigo Black at all. Hot soak and bam.
-
Very impressed with these 25oz 777's i think the fit is pretty good, though they will need hemming again
ive had to fold the leg cuffs three times!going to be wearing these to work as much as possible.

First pair of iron hearts. Am i right to think these jeans are supposed to fit pretty low on your hip. I got the 34 and had them hemmed to 31. Im actually a 33 waist I believe but these are supposed to shrink an inch after a hot soak right. On the website it said these jeans would be a 33 waist but I think there a 34 mind you i havent got a tape handy though. I do like them anyway thanks for this great site im pretty new to selvedge!

@jrb1975 Yeah, they've got a low rise and are supposed to sit low. Fit looks great, I'd say! And it's good you've got a little extra hem length to allow for a bit of inseam shrinkage in the wash and the fabric bunching from combs as they form. Enjoy!

As a general comment: tag sizes can be misleading. Always look at the measurements posted on the product page to get an idea of which size to pick. This guide explains how to measure your denim the Iron Heart way to allow you to compare directly:

@Tago-Mago tha
Thanks ill read it -
@nurunuru thanks if i want a all together tighter fit should i soak these jeans in hot water in a tub ?
-
@jrb1975 A soak in hot water is not enough to shrink the jeans…you also need to agitate them to get maximum shrinkage. A hot water soak and then placing them in the washing machine (preferably on hot) should do the trick. Please remember to remove the jeans before the spin cycle to minimize the possibility of streaks.
-
@goosehd thanks im not 100% sure i want to use the washing machine yet i dont think the jeans look bad at all there just a bit loose but not by much thanks for sharing that information!
-
@goosehd ok wanted to tell you that i soaked the 777's in a reasonably hot tank of water for exactly 1 hour and they basically transformed to basically the best fitting pair of jeans that i can remember as of late. They shrank in all the right places interestingly not much in the waist but there great!
